\section{Information-Centric Networking}

\noindent Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a new inter-networking paradigm, which introduces a whole new conception of networking. Essentially, the main idea of ICN is to name \textit{content} instead of today's host-centric naming of \textit{locations}. It has its own techniques for reducing network congestion and improving the reliability, security, trust, and speed issues of the current Internet architecture. %In chapter \ref{chap:problemarea} we will go more into these mentioned and how ICN can be a solution to them.

Currently, there are various privately and publicly funded research proj{\-}ects that develop different implementations of ICN, building on the same core idea. We have discovered that ICN actually has been a quite big research topic for the last 4-5 years and it still is today. EU is funding ICN research because they also have realized that the current Internet architecture is in danger of being overtaken by the services built on top of it and its accelerating utilization. Although there are a lot of written papers, articles, and even books about ICN, it seems as most of them discuss the technical details of it and none of them took into consideration how to physically deploy ICN and make society adopt it. If ICN really is a solution to current and future inter-networking problems, it seems appropriate for us to investigate what prevents a deployment. Therefore we have come up with the following research question:
